I really liked this movie. It is surprisingly funny, heartwarming and authentic. I thought the acting was good. The story was interesting. Yes you can tell a little bit it is a lower budget independent film, but I don't think that brought down its quality. The cinematography was great showing the lush landscape of Door County, WI, where it was filmed. If I didn't know this was the directors first film, I would have thought he had tons of experience. The story is interesting as they shine light on the plight of the small town farmers and what narrow margins they are living in and how the hardship can push some to self deletions since they can't think of a way out of their struggle. The cost of farming is expensive, but you can tell these farmers love it and all the effort is worth it because it is more than just farming. It's communing with nature, passing on a legacy personally to family and to the wider community and even the world as what they produce is a literal basic necessity for all humans (sustenance). The relationship between the grandfather and granddaughter was great as they butt heads figuring out their future. Dreams sometimes come true and sometimes don't, but you can find meaning and purpose along the way no matter the outcome. A story of how people can help each other if they let each in.
